How to Make Mulled Wine

  1. In a large stainless steel stockpot, combine 1 bottle (750ml) of dry red wine, 1 orange (sliced), 1 lemon (sliced), 1/2 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 6 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, 1 star anise, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  2. Place the stockpot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once simmering, reduce the heat to very low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Before serving, carefully strain the mulled wine through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined strainer to remove the spices and fruit pieces.
  5. Ladle the fragrant mulled wine into heatproof mugs or glasses. Garnish with an orange slice and cinnamon stick, if desired.
